Art Lessons

Art lessons group events are available for children and adults in a limited number.  I work with your strengths and build from there.  It is somewhat self-directed as I take you where you want to go and focus on what you want to learn.  Lessons are held in my studio located at 5028 Wrightsville Avenue.  For the first lesson, you may sign up for just one time.  For subsequent lessons, sign up is for a minimum of four weeks.

Summer Art Camp

Wilmington Art CampArtist, Deborah Cavenaugh, Is Offering Nine One-Week Art Camps June 15 through August 14, 2009 (WilmingtonArtCamp.com)

“I want these art camps to not only have the basic goal that each child  creates  beautiful art, something they can  be proud of, but further, to develop their self-confidence and help them find their own, true artistic voice that I believe is inside of every person just waiting to be discovered.”     Deborah Cavenaugh

Give your child the opportunity to study with Deborah Cavenaugh in her personal studio.  There are six different themes spread over the nine week-long camps–from painting to sculpting. The camps are structured so that those who are already comfortable with art,  as well as those who are a bit intimidated, will both have a positive, successful experience.
